Community Gallery

ABOUT US

The Dunedin Community Gallery (DCG) is administered by the Dunedin Fringe Arts Trust (DFAT) on behalf of the Dunedin City Council (DCC). DFAT does not programme events into the DCG and relies on applications from Dunedin’s diverse creative community to use the space. We offer a supportive and accessible environment for our users and look forward to working with you.

ABOUT THE GALLERY

The Dunedin Community Gallery is at 26 Princes Street. The maximum capacity is 160 people, including your team (or 120 if alcohol is being served).

The gallery can be booked by community groups, arts organisations, exhibitors, and other cultural practitioners.

Primarily an exhibition space, the Dunedin Community Gallery is a blank-canvas shop-front room with large windows on busy Princes Street.
